Bring back Reagan...
I do think you have over looked one small detail here and that is the Democratic party's impressive ability to take several suitable candidates and then choose the one with the least charisma and chance to be elected.
Like it or not voters of all nations tend to like their leaders to show signs of life while speaking.
True, but President Carter rode into Washington on the wings of discontent for the Republican Party, and rode out a mere 4 years later, losing to the "great communicator".
It's only a 4 year term after all, so, if the new President does not work out well, well just elect a new one.
The US Federal Government works best when the political pendulum swings back and forth, and the mid-terms were in my opinion no fluke or ballot counting mistake, as I believe the Country is moving away from the Republicans en masse, so I believe it will not matter who the Republicans put up for the office, as that person will carry all the sins of this current Administration with them. 'tis merely one of the many drawbacks of only having 2 major Party's to pick from.
Personally I look for this President to get himself Impeached, and could very well be removed before he leaves office at the regularly scheduled time.
I would doubt that there will ever be a mass movement away from either party, in most cases you find that no matter how badly a government or party performs there is always a hardcore 25-30% support base (something that has always amused me is that a party could pretty much run a cardboard cutout and it would still get the hardcore vote Al Gore was a perfect example of this).
As far as GWB goes I would bet that he will serve out his time and disappear into obscurity or a bottle, it will be interesting to see how he rates once we have the benefit of hindsight (say 20-30 years). As far as impeachment goes I doubt it will happen as the democrats simply dont have the killer instinct to go after him.
Sorry to interupt, but even taking into account the slant on mmarsh's
list of issues, that still doesn't appear to me to represent an extremist view. Very pragmatic and no nonsense, yes, but that is the necessity of defence these days. Since when, in America, is a pro religious approach described as extreme ? And to have concerns regarding the holocaust of generations of unborn babes ? This is now considered exteme? Don't go down our route (Europe/Britain) guys. Don't be led by the Chatterati.
Sorry - I'll butt out.
PS. A neutral board is no-man's board.
Just how would you describe what has been dealt these innocents?
Off the cuff, I could not tell you, but whatever it is, it is far too high.Is Abortion up to 24 weeks still Legal in England?
